1994 G20 Someone please HELP!
My front speakers haven't worked in over a year and I've finally decided to do something about it. I have a '94 G20 with the active speaker system. ( I have no idea what that means) I was able to figure out that the reason my front speakers don't work is because I installed a JVC El cameleon deck which blew the amp for the front speakers. There are two Clarion amps under the rear deck, one for the front speakers, one for the back. My question is can i just buy some regular amp to replace the blown one or would that take more wiring or something more that I would rather not deal with? I would like to do this myself if possible, I'm not too experienced but I can do simple wiring. (Installed the deck myself)Thanks a lot
it's definitely the amp, i checked to speakers. Do i just buy a harness for the wiring, b/c the wiring going into the amp is one big plug with different wires going into it or do i just cut it off? also i've read a lot about power supply, is one of the wires there for the power or do i have to run a new one?
Hey Vic, Simms is correct about bypassing the factory amps your JVC has an onboard amplifier so there is no need for aftermarket or factory amps for that matter, now I'm not 100% sure about the system in your G but there should be one plug going into each one of the amps in the back, in that plug your going to have about 10 wires 8 of those are speaker wires the others are power and remote turn on(the amp is grounded thru the frame). I will give you an exaple of rewireing the rear speakers in my Active Speaker equiped '91 240SX. The right speaker has 2 wires going into it from the amp a Blue and a Blue Yellow, the Blue is the positve and the Blue Yellow is the negative. Now all you have to do is find out which wires are coming from the head unit for the right side. In my car they are Purple and Pink. Now cut the Purple and the Blue Yellow wires and splice them together. Do the same for the Left channel (Brown and Brown Yellow speaker and Green and Red for the input from the head unit).
